Steps
- Check the Tax? box on each line that should be taxable for your business's treatment of that sale.
- Check the quote's tax percentage. A company default sets new inputs; it does not rewrite existing estimates.
- The program allocates the discount and minimum-profit adjustment across selling lines in proportion to their original values.
- With a $100 taxable line and a $100 nontaxable line, zero margin, a $20 discount and 10% tax, the price before tax is $180 and tax is $9.
- Review your tax treatment yourself or with your accountant. This tool calculates the values you enter; it does not decide which work is legally taxable.
